RE: [ST] loose stuff on ST

[Rich Lane <rlane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had a few things fall of myself and just spent the weekend
cleaning and tightening.  Noticed that I lost one of the fasteners
for the fairing.  Does anyone with a service manual know the proper
replacement size?  Also can I get them somewhere other than a dealer?

Why wait, One of the first things I did when I brought the Triumph home 
last year was to go through the bike and check fasteners and torque's all 
over the bike. My then wife lost her mind when she came into the garage and 
saw the NEW less than 30 miles on it bike divested of bodywork and me 
grinning and sweating and loctite-ing away.

Anyhow just my .02c

Peace,
